The NYU priority deadline each year is February 15 for new freshmen and March 1 for all other students. Graduate students should refer to their school or department for specific program deadlines.
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is available beginning January 1. Submit the application as soon as possible after January 1. Do not wait until your taxes are done. Although it is better to do your taxes early, it is acceptable to use estimates of your income, so long as they do not vary significantly from the actual values. You can make corrections later on the FAFSA web site (see "FAFSA Follow-Up").
If you miss the financial aid deadline you may still apply, but funds become increasingly limited. Applications for student assistance will continue to be processed as long as we have available funds. Plan in advance and apply at least several weeks before the beginning of the term in which you need funds. If you have not applied, do so immediately. Remember, to meet the specified deadline your application, with all necessary signatures, must be received and validated by the processor and released to NYU by the date shown for priority consideration.
